Bank Holiday Monday, and beautiful Zellah Wilding, straight-A student at St Margaret's, prefect and future Head Girl, lies dead near the famous Wormwood Scrubs prison in London. What was this good girl from a strict Christian family doing out there, dressed to kill, when she was supposed to be at a sleepover with school friends?

A secret boyfriend from a run-down estate and a recently released rapist look tasty; or could the nearby fairground or the eponymous prison have something to do with it?

The mysteries only seem to proliferate as the investigation progresses, and the more Bill Slider knows, the less he understands about this very secret girl.

" good old fashioned mystery--murdered girl with witnesses only seeing part of the story. clues and interviews come together. good, not great, but always fun to read. humor is a nice addition. "

" Reading Bill Slider is like spending some time in a pair of favorite mocassins with a cup of tea and a great view to enjoy when your mind wanders from the page - great stuff, a real quiet pleasure with just the right amount of humour. "

" Bill Slider just gets better and better. I love the quips all the way through, Porson's malaprops, and Atherton's cheek. Slider is just so human, and one of my favourite fictional detectives. "

" Excellent! After the first few pages, I realized I had already read this. I even remembered the solution! Nevertheless, I read it again anyway because I so enjoy the characters and the repartee in this highly literate series that still hasn't gone stale. "

Kyrie | 9/10/2011

" This one returns to the excellent word play and humor between all the detectives. The question of whodunnit and why leads the team down a lot of paths - too many candidates instead of too few. As always, Slider's home life makes for great reading, too. I want to be as good a wife as Joanna is. "

Sharron | 8/24/2011

" The Bill Slider series continues to improve and I truly enjoy the author's puns and wordplay. "

Kate | 7/12/2011

" Nothing particularly special about the plot, just a good, solid Bill Slider mystery. Extra points because the dialogue is witty and pun-filled. "
